Weekend Snippets {vol. 8}

Friday
Friday was an incredibly stressful yet unproductive day at work. I needed something to brighten up my day so I picked up two $2 bottles of nail polish at Target. I love the recent trends of robin's egg blue and mint green nail polishes. I found one called "Mint Sorbet" and brushed a little on my pinky nail to check out the color (you know you do it too!). But the mint just wasn't enough. Then I spotted a little bottle of gold glitter called "Set the Stage." I brushed a little on top of the mint and fell in love.

Saturday
We spent some time with family baking old recipes and just hanging out. It was so fun and relaxing. I also painted The Boyfriend's 9-yr. old cousin's nails with the gold glitter above. Eating, laughing, chatting, and doing nails... What more could a girl ask for on a Saturday afternoon?

Sunday
We both had a little bit of work to do on Sunday so we kept it low key and did a few household chores. We ventured out to Pizza Rock for lunch to enjoy some live music and award-winning pizza. I also did a little DIY project that I'll show you tomorrow, once as soon as it's dry and ready to photograph. For dinner, I made butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter and lemon sauce. It was a little sweeter than I intended but overall pretty delish!

What's not pictured here? A fab sushi dinner and actual photos of the award-winning pizza. I have no problem at all taking photos of homemade food (or food in foreign countries, apparently). And I think I'm actually pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. But for some reason, I get a little self-conscious when it comes to taking photos in restaurants. Do you feel the same way? Or do you just whip out the camera and snap away? (If so, I need to be more like you!!)

I love mint nailpolish! and i am glad you didn't post pics of the sushi dinner because i would have to leave my house and scour the neighborhood for some of my very own immediately. :)xox danathewonderforest.com

i'm glad to hear you had a great weekend after a stressful but unproductive day at work on friday. nail polish is always a great pick me up! i love the sparkle with the mint, mint is such an under the radar color it should make an appearance more often!
